Erdogan to meet Trump in Washington on Nov 13

Istanbul (Agencies): Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan will travel to the United States next week to meet Donald Trump, the Turkish presidency said.

In a telephone conversation, "the two leaders reconfirmed that they will meet in Washington on Wednesday, November 13, on President Trump's invitation," the Turkish presidency said.

Erdogan had threatened to cancel his visit due to disputes over the Syrian conflict and the US House of Representatives recognising the mass killing of Armenians a century ago as genocide.

Trump issued a tweet saying he'd had a "very good call" with Erdogan and would "look forward" to hosting him.
